Thefts Predicted To Soar As Recession-Hit Unemployed Turn To Crime

Leading home insurer, The Co-operative Insurance, is urging homeowners to be vigilant about security as it predicts a possible credit crunch crime wave could hit the UK in the next six months.

With the recession taking hold and the number of redundancies now standing at more than two million, opportunists are hunting for easy ways to make money. The Home Office has reported a significant increase in opportunistic theft in recent months and launched a £1.6m burglary prevention programme to tackle the problem.

Currently, there is a burglary every 20 seconds in the UK and The Co-operative Insurance predicts thefts will take place even more frequently . The insurer said it will take between three and six months for the increase in thefts to become evident following the steep rise in unemployment with men under 25 the most likely to turn to crime, the insurer predicts.

The Co-operative Insurance says that 90 per cent of all burglaries are opportunistic and warns that most thieves will exploit an insecure lock on a door or an open window to steal small items such as money, electrical goods and jewellery. Garages and sheds are also at great risk if they are not adequately secured and the leading insurer is advising homeowners to enhance home security by fitting gates, security lights and alarms, and securing windows and doors.

Unfortunately, a quarter of homes or 4.5 million adults, do not have contents insurance which means they could stand to lose large sums of money if their possessions are not insured.

James Hillon Head of Home Insurance at The Co-operative Insurance, said: “History has shown that in times of high unemployment there is a direct link to a surge in burglary in the following three to six months, as opportunists thieves look for ways in which to make money.”

Hillon continued: “This means that, although households are trying to cut back on spending, home insurance shouldn’t be one of the compromises. Homeowners should do everything they possibly can to ensure their homes are theft-proof to reduce the chances of being burgled and to avoid becoming an easy target, including maintaining adequate insurance cover on their homes. Fitting window locks and security alarms can also cut the cost of insurance, so it is worth the investment in the long term.”

Multiple Bloggers Wanted for News Blog

The Inquisitr is looking for Multiple bloggers for a large news blog:

The Inquisitr is looking for new bloggers to help cover our diverse range of news related topics.

Our ideal blogger will have some experience blogging, although blog network or large site experience isn’t necessary. You should be able to work independently, including sourcing suitable content for posts, and editing your own work prior to publication. Writers aren’t expected to cover all topic areas, but do have the flexibility to write in different subject areas should they wish. You should also have a reasonable sense of humor, be occasionally snarky, and be fairly broad minded when it comes to content. The ability to write a straight news post, and then throw in an opinion post is a plus.

You will be expected to write at least 5-10 posts a week, although the more you write, the more you could potentially earn. Posts must be a minimum of three paragraphs per post, with the occasional exception (for example, a video or funny pic).

In return, we’ll teach you where to find content, what content works well, and the best ways to present that content on the site.

These newly created positions offer compensation of US$1.50 per one thousand page views, paid monthly via Paypal only. Initially we are looking for 2-3 bloggers, and possibly more later should the first bloggers work well. One position will be set aside specifically for a writer in the United Kingdom or Europe (to cover the night shift) or a writer who would prefer to write Friday through Sunday US time (to cover weekends.)

Your application should include a resume, links to your work online, how many posts you would be willing to contribute weekly (roughly), and why you think you’re up to the job. Note that given our last experience in advertising a position, we may not be able to respond to each application, however if you are unsuccessful we will keep your details of file for future opportunities.

About the Inquisitr:
The Inquisitr launched in May 2008 and has grown to be a Technorati Top 250 blog. In February we delivered 2.35 million page views, and recently passed the 10 million page views mark since launching. We currently cover the following areas: Tech (including web and gadgets), Entertainment (celebrities, TV and movie news), News and Sport (specifically large events in both), Media Industry and Odd + Funny (funny and odd news).
